Sin (Ma’siyah)

Q. What is Ma’siyah?

A. Ma’siyah means disobedience. Disobeying Allâh’s orders is Ma’siyah or “sin.” To sin is very bad. Allâh’s anger and punishments come because of sin. Not believing in Allâh and believing in more than one god are the greatest sins. Such persons, kuffaar and mushrikeen, will always remain in Hell. No prophet will recommend them, and Allâh has declared in the Qur’aan that He will never forgive the kuffaar and mushrikeen.
